The rates of capital formation in the years 2011-12 to 2019-20 have been higher than the rate of saving because of positive net capital flow from RoW. The rate of GCF to GDP at constant  prices was 34.1 per cent in 2019-20 and 31.5 per cent in 2020-21.

GVA estimates of Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing sectors have undergone revision due to revision in production estimates of crop sector as per 4th Advance estimate of Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers welfare. Also, for horticulture sector, 3rd Advance estimates of production have been used. The revision in other industries in Primary Sector is due to the incorporation of latest revised data.

Estimates of secondary sector have undergone upward revision due to availability of additional data in respect of companies post PE FY 2020-21 release and revision in input data by source agencies. At the time of compilation of PE, major input data was sourced from IIP besides financial results of limited number of listed companies particularly for Q4 2020-21.

Estimates of tertiary sector have undergone revision due to the use of Revised Estimates  from Central & State budget documents instead of Budget Estimates . However, the information on Actual Expenditure of various Ministries/Departments of Central Government for 2020-21 has been used to the extent available on PFMS. Also, a larger number of public & private sector companies were analyzed in compilation of revised estimates.
